Greetings, Magical Souls!

Monday I got to attend Lunar Magick & Crystal Magick with Coven’s Library! I learned so much! If you haven’t checked the classes out you totally should!

On Earth Day Candie did some volunteer service! We meant to mention it, but Candie had an overwhelming week and had to get her footing before getting the details together!

Equal Plates Project was founded in 2020 by a local farmer and chefs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with a mission to support local farmers, combat food insecurity, and build community through scratch-cooked meals. Operating from two church kitchens in downtown Asheville, they now distribute nearly 5,000 meals weekly—up from 1,200 before Hurricane Helene—thanks to strong community partnerships and rapid response efforts. Since October 2024, they've sustained expanded capacity, sourcing at least 50% of ingredients from local farms at market prices.

A Note From Candie:

I’m incredibly grateful to work for a company that truly values community involvement and gives us the time and support to give back. When I brought up the idea of a team volunteer day, my manager not only listened—he wholeheartedly encouraged it. Some of my teammates had never volunteered before, but they jumped in without hesitation, and I couldn't be more proud.

Ever since Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, I’ve felt a strong pull to get out and help however I could. On Earth Day, our amazing team came together—not to focus on business goals, but to step outside of our daily routines and serve a community that is still in deep need of support. We may have only made a small impact, but the gratitude we received and the work we accomplished reminded us how much every bit helps.

If you're looking for a way to give back, I encourage you to check out Equal Plates Project or Beloved Asheville. There are so many ways to get involved—and so many people who still need a helping hand.

Sage Advice

As I mentioned last week. May is mental health awareness month. Here are some facts according to NAMI

Fast Facts

• 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year

• 1 in 20 U.S. adults experience serious mental illness each year

• 50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24

• Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among people aged 10-14

Practical Magic for Mental Well-Being

• Protection spells can help create a safe mental space by shielding you from negative energies and influences. They work by setting boundaries, allowing you to focus on your well-being without external distractions. They are also how we train other people to treat us.

• Cleansing rituals come in handy for mental clarity. Regular cleansing can refresh your energy and create a sense of renewal and focus. Burn sacred purification herbs, take a salt bath, or use sound cleansing with bells or singing bowls to cleanse.

• Boost your self-esteem and confidence with spells focusing on self-love and empowerment. Try creating a self-love jar by filling a small container with rose petals, amethyst, and a written affirmation of your worth, or incorporate positive affirmations into your daily routine. Speak words of kindness and encouragement to yourself in front of a mirror.

Simple Protections

1. Light a white candle and visualize a protective bubble around you.

2. Carry a piece of black tourmaline

3. Wear a protective amulet to serve as a daily shield against negativity.

Witchcraft offers many tools that can help support mental and emotional wellness, but seeking professional help is a brave and powerful step. Therapists and counselors provide expert guidance and support that can be life-changing – even, life-saving. Magical spirituality can be combined with the insights of professional mental health support if you need it.
